Milwaukee, Wis.., Oct. 14.
An attempt to assassinate Col
onel Roosevelt was made as he
- . started on his way from the
Hotel Gilpatrick in' this city to
the Auditorium.
-- As he stepped into an auto
mobile a shot was fired by a
poorlyjittired man, who edged
his way through the crowd to
thefmotor car. The stranger
took deliberate aim and sent
- the bullet crashing into the ex
Li president's right side, just be
' low the nipple. The shooter
was seizd by Elbert II; Martin,
L- t,1G ex-president's stenographer,
k . and Captain Alfred G. Gerard
, . of Milwukee, rough rider, under
" Roosevelt.
. As he was about . to fire an-
LLt iv5 '' oth shot the-tovolvor, a thirty
lT eight caliber, affair, was
Vv Cecil Lym oi Texas, who
H $, is accompanying Roosevelt on
t -; his mid wostern campaign trip.
Lyon jumped out of the auto
mobile and started to choke the
? would-be asassin.
Effl Rooeevelt who had staggered
"rtf back into the auto when the
"' shot was fired, raised himself up
?', andjstood looking at Lyon, who
; i was sitting on the shooter. The
" ox-president cried, with a
II N ff gesture, "Don't hurt him. I'm
fy & all right."
I - A captain of police rushed in
I as Lyon trcleascd his grip on
the fellow and with Lyon's help
I ' dragged the man in to the hotel
I kitchen.
, With rare presence of mird
I the colonel, waving his hat,
r cried out, "My good friends,
t I'm not hurt. I'm going to the
I . hall to speak, Good luck."
1 The'j whole incident had oc-
I curred so quickly that tie
i astonished crowd did nothing
but stand stock still.
The colonel then turned to
the chauffeur and in a calm
r voice, remarked, "Now just run
the car up to the Auditorium.
i I'm not hurt and everything's
I all right," and in a moment
' . Roosevelt was on his way to the
I hall with a bullet in his side.
The " ex-president did not
actually realize that he had been
shot until he got to the Audi
f torium, five blocks distant.
As he reached the Auditorium
the ex-president felt a sharp
r sting in his side and instinctive-
i ly placed his hand upon it. Dr.
Terrill, his private physician,
who rode in the automobile with
him noticed the gesture.
l "Colonel, I believe you are
hurt," he suggested with alarm.
"No, not at all, "returned
Roosevelt with a smile. "I feel
fine." -
Dr. Terrill persisted that he

"Now, if we wait to do that,"
fretted Rocsevelt, "you'll delay

Dr. Terrill was obdurat.
"Oh, well, if it disturbes you,
go ahead." laughed the colonel.
After the doctor had made a
hurried examination, Roosevelt
got up from the chair and in
sisted on being shown to the

Kansas City Stock Yards,
Oct. 11, 1912. Cattle received
here this week 81,100, last week
88,300, same weok last year 78,
900. The general market is 10 to
25 .higher than a week ago, a?
tho demand -has been strong
from all sources, Shipments to
the country in four days amount
to 27,000 cattle, and outside
killers havo bought heavily this
week. Local packers havo killed
more cattle in the last two
weeks than any similar time this
11. Buyers seem to think
native pastures havo shot their
wad for this season, and the
p.rgc proportion of trash bears
out the theory. The pre
ponderance of low grade cattle
also indicates that the country
i3 being scraped down close in
cattle, in responso to the
magnetic influence of high
prices. Opinion is shaping itself
more favorably toward tho mar
ket on fed cattlo this season.
Prime cattle havo been off the
list hire this week, except at
- tho stock show, where-some fat

the panhandle and Col'- ido,
has sent in some 1. j;h ' red
stock cattlo and fc '-wi his
week, which have sold at ipu-SO
to $7.00, the bout grade stuff
selling freely around the latter
figure. Indiana distillers bought
forty loads of platu-fjL'edors hero
this week at $5.85 to $13.00. Last
week they bougth 50 cars of the
same class of steers at $5.75.
Grass cows and heifers range
from $'1.00 to $G.00, bulls ?4.40
to $5.25, veal calves; $7.00 to
$9.25. Hogs received hero this
week 400,00 last week 32,700,
same week last year 49,000.
The market is jumping up fast
this week, prices 5 to 10 higher
here to day, with two load of
heavy hogs at the top, $9.10,
bulk of sales of all tho hogs at
$8.60 to $9.00. Stocks of pro
visioned are said to be decreas
ing rapidly, and good prices
will be paid aJJIong time ahead.
Sheep received here this week
7G.900, last week 75,000, same
week last year 85,300. Like tne
cattle run, the big supply of
sheep this week is regarded as
tho swan song of the heavy fall
business, and prices are strong
er. Range Jambs sell at $0.05
and $0770, feeders around $0.00,
wethers up to $4,10, yearlings
$4 GO, ewos $3.2H to $3. GO. Price
changes occur frequently, and
the general feeling is bullish.
